Losing Time on my computer clock

Hi,

I keep losing 2 hours ever time I reboot my computer and I have to go in and change it each time. Does anyone know what might cause this? CMOS Batteries??

Welcome to TSG!

Yep, sounds like the CMOS battery. If this computer is a few years old, than the battery is the most likely suspect.

Open the case and look at your motherboard -- there should be a flat battery (looks like a large, round watch battery). Just make sure you're grounded (touching an unpainted metal surface or using an antistatic wrist strap) before removing the battery.
